Moscow competing for the title of Capital of the World, against New York, London and Tokyo ?

Oh yes, that's because Paris is out of any comparison.

On a more serious note, I know our business district (La Défense, where I am working) is in competition with the one in Moscow (name ?). There is a strong movement to build taller skyscrappers here at the moment (tallest tower as of today : less than 200 m, which is quite small actually, but 90% of the skyscrappers of Paris are there), but in the end Moscow and its petrodollars will win, no doubt.

OK, enough with the (usual) off-topic.

Great shot akots, nice to see such places. If you have any shot from St. Petersburg too...
